Does Chocolate Have
A ‘Love Chemical?’
(NU) - "With National Chocolate
Week approaching on March 13, the
enduring question about one of
America's favorite confections is
sure to be raised," notes Mark Haley,
a leading authority on chocolate and
president of Brown & Haley, one of
America's largest boxed-chocolate
manufacturers.
Why does there appear to be such
a strong relationship between emo-
tional feelings of love and choco-
late?
Haley says it might have some-
thing to do with the fact that choco-
late contains phenylethylamine
(PEA), a chemical in the human brain
that stimulates emotions.
One of the reasons that there are
more self-confessed chocoholics
among women than men is because
the female body chemistry is more
sensitive to PF.A, according to Haley.
"This is why many people, especially
women, eat a piece of chocolate
when they feel sad or depressed,” he
notes.
And, he adds, chocolate's "love
chemical” may be why men and women
have given each other chocolate as a
token of affection for hundreds of years.
In fact, the ancient Aztecs considered
chocolate an aphrodisiac. Legend has it
that King Montezuma consumed more
than 50 cupfuls of chocolate drink a
day, especially |*2fore visiting some
combination of his many wives and
700 mistresses.
Haley, whose company has been
making confections for more than
80 years, says Americans consume
in excess of five billion pounds of
candy annually, and chocolate ac-
counts for about 55 percent of the
total, or 2.6 billion pounds.
"Given those numbers, it's easy
to see that Americans clearly have a
love affair with chocolate, and that
chocolate has played a key role in
many of our love affairs,” Haley says.
There is nobody whom fortune does not visit at least once. But
if he is not ready to receive it, it enters by the door and goes out
by the window.
